4.6.3 SoL Establishment
4.6.3.1 Serial over LAN
Serial over LAN (SOL) is an extension to IPMI over LAN (IOL) and allows to
transmit serial data via LAN in addition to IPMI commands (verify chapter <x.x.x -
IPMI Interfaces, LAN>). It’s defined in the IPMI v2.0 specification and based on
the RMCP+ protocol to encapsulate serial data in network packets and exchange
them via LAN.
With the help of SOL, user can connect to a virtual serial console (e.g. payload
x86 system) from remote. SOL can be used on MIC-5332 for serial-based OS
and pre-OS communication over LAN (e.g. OS command-line interface and
serial redirected BIOS menu).
<1> Preconditions for SOL
Set IP Address of the Static LAN Interface Command Line Syntax:
ipmitool -I lan -H <ip> -A <authtype> lan set <channel> <command>
<ip address>
-I lan Specifies that Ethernet is used as interface for
communications with the IPMC
-H <ip> Default IP address of LAN interface 192.168.1.1
-A <authtype> Authentication type (depending on supported
types by the Shelf Manager: NONE,
PASSWORD, MD2, MD5 or OEM), default:
NONE
<channel> Default used channel: 5
0: IPMB-0 1: Serial 2. unused
3: unused 4: KCS 5. LAN (default)
6: unused 7: IPMB-L
<command> To change the IP address, please use: ipaddr
<ip address> New IP address to be used
Example:
ipmitool -I lan -H 192.168.1.1 -A none lan set 5 ipaddr 172.21.35.105
/* change the static IP address of LAN interface from 192.168.1.1 to 172.21.35.105 */
